Optimus groaned in pain.

He felt sore all over. And yet just a bit numb.

But he also felt...

Confused.

How can he be feeling pain?

Wasn't he supposed to be one with the Allspark?

...

Something went wrong.

What happened.

Optimus then felt his senses coming back at him full force.

It was loud.

There were voices around him.

He could hear people talking near him. But none to him.

He then went to his next sense. The sense of touch.

Slightly moving his digits, he could feel something slightly prickly, yet soft.

And he even felt a light breeze.

Something was defiantly wrong.

He then took an intake of air. It's not like they needed to breathe but it would usually be used to cool their systems.

And oh, how he become even more confused.

Thousands of millions of different scents invaded his detectors.

There were sweet smells, sour smells, neutral smells, delicious smells....the list could go on forever.

But...he wasn't supposed to be able to smell. More of less detect a smell.

Raising his servo while keeping his optics closed, he raised it to his faceplate only to feel...

...something squishy?..

Yep. That was it. Time to get up.

Optimus quickly jerked up- snapping his optics open. Or rather, his eyes.

Looking down at his hands, he see's that there's skin instead of metal.

Trailing his eyes up his arms, he notices his arms are also covered in some sort of clothing.

After analyzing his new body for a bit, he realizes that he's human.

No, he's not in his holoform and it's not a holoform glitch- as he had to convince himself that a few times.

He is, in fact, 100% human.

And to add to more proof? His alt mode is not there.

Looking around, Optimus could see that he was in some sort of park. Ways from him, there was a jungle gym and he could see a couple of human children playing on it.

Optimus stood up and brushed himself down- observing even more of what he was wearing.

It seems he wore a simple outfit fit for any occasion; a black, long sleeve turtle neck, some blue jeans and black combat boots.

The one thing that mostly caught his interest would be the two dog tags around his neck (not that he bothered to read them at the moment) and the gold band around his middle finger on his right hand. If looked at close enough, one may be able to take not of the small blue linings engraved on it.

After taking note of his clothing, he began to observe his surroundings for any information that may help him figure out where he is. Or even..if he's on the same Earth he was on before.

He knew the possibility of multiple 'copies', per say, of a planet may exist due to how enormous the universe was. He did once hear during the war that one of his soldiers passed by a green and blue planet (that looked like Earth- not that they knew) and said there were large fleshy creatures eating these smaller fleshy beings (humans- but again it's not like they knew). And that the smaller ones were at the brink of extinction...

Optimus shook his helm- no, head. He couldn't let himself be distracted. Right now, he needs to find information. He then walked over to the pavement where a few people walked along.

Seeing three teens walking in his direction, he decides to questions them.

"Excuse me," Optimus speaks up as he politely interrupts the teens, two boys, and a girl, conversating. They stopped their chat and looked up at the man who called out to them in question.

"Yes? Can we help you?" The tallest boy asked politely.

"I am currently lost and do not know where I am. Can you please tell me the location I am at right now?"

"Oh, um, you're in Shizuoka right now at Toro Park,"

"Thank you. And I apologize for interrupting your conversation," Optimus apologizes.

"Ah! No!" The girl quickly jumped in- standing in front of Optimus. "No! There's no need to apologize! Really!"

Optimus could only stare in confusion at this girl. What did she mean by there was no apology needed?...

"I feel as though I must give one as you three appeared to be enjoying your conversation before I interrupted..." Optimus trailed off slightly.

"No! Really you just asked a question that's all! Nothing major! Just be hAPPY!!"

Optimus deadpanned. "I'm sorry, but, pardon?..." He could only wonder if this girl was in the right state of mind at the moment.

"Mikaaaaa!" The other boy dragged the girls name out in slight annoyance. He then placed his hands on the girl's shoulder and tugged her back and out of Optimus's space before looking up at Optimus- giving him an apologetic smile.

"Sorry about her. She used her quirk too much earlier and became like this so we're bringing her home to rest," The giddy girl then interrupted again with a loud gasp.

"ARE YOU A HERO?! MAYBE A NEW ONE?! YOU LOOK LIKE ONE SINCE YOU LOOK TOUGH AND HAVE BIG MUSCULES OOO-ACK!"

She was then knocked unconscious by the younger boy's hand that was glowing green.

"Y-Y-Yuko! You didn't have to knock her out!" The taller one exclaimed in worry.

"Don't worry she'll be fine when she gets home. Her mom was ok with it last time because she couldn't control herself," Yuko explain.

The taller one sighed before looking at Optimus again. "Ah, sorry, we got distracted. Well, hope you can find your way to where you're trying to go," They both then left with the unconscious girl. Optimus simply stood there, frozen. Confused as to the new and sudden information he just received.

Quirk? Hero? Glowing green hand?

Yep. All possibilities of this being the Earth he knew of flew out the window.

And yet...this place has all the same items the Earth he knows would have. Or maybe...

The possibility of this planet being another Earth became exceptionally high. Like the one with the humanoid beings that ate humans and pushed them to the brink of extinction- ok off topic.

Looking around once more, Optimus decides to go deeper into the city to try to find more clues as to what's going on.

~~~

Arriving in what appeared to be a station square, he glances around to see many shops and decides to go into one that was conveniently right next to him and was about geography since Author-sama's eyes are getting sore from using her phone all the time and she still needs to retrieve her large amount of lost information from something...

Walking in, Optimus is greeted by the many maps of the world which he immediately recognizes as Earths geography.

'Now, to see exactly where Shizuoka is,' He thought as he then took a closer look at the map. He then felt a tingle in his right eye before something popped up right in front of it. Taking a step back, from being startled, he stood still in curiosity. What was in front of him? Looking next to the map, there was a mirror.

Looking into the mirror, he noted his human looks but took more interest in his eye as it glowed a blue with what appeared to brighter blue rings pulsating in his iris.

Interestingly enough, it didn't cause any sort of discomfort at all. It felt as though it was simply a part of his body such as a hand or a leg.

Leaning closer to the mirror, Optimus narrowed his eyes in suspicion. He then blinked his eyes and his eyes glowing blue eyes appeared back to a seemingly warm, yet stern brown. Slightly bewildered, he leaned back from the mirror.

"Ah, I see that you are using your quirk there. Perhaps searching for something specific today?" Came an elderly women's voice from beside Optimus.

Turning to the source of the voice, Optimus spotted a short elderly women warmly smiling up at him.

'I used my...quirk?..' Optimus questioned himself in disbelief. 'I am in possession of a 'quirk'?...'

Snapping out of his thoughts, he responded to the patiently waiting women.

"I am looking for Shizuoka on this geography map. May you assist me in finding it on this map?"  Optimus then motioned toward the geographic map next to the mirror.

The old women took a step closer and hummed as she gently rubbed her chin with one of her hands in a thinking manner.

"Hmm...ah! It should be right over here!" The old women called out as she then pointed up.

Suddenly, her arm stretched out and her finger landed on Shizuoka, Japan. Optimus could only hold in his shock as the women then retracted her arm.

"Ah," said Optimus as he looked back at where the women pointed. So it seemed that he was somehow in Japan...

"Is there anything else I can help you with today?" The old women kindly asked.

"No there is nothing else I need help with. Thank you for you assistance. I appreciate it,"

"Ah~" The old women bashfully said as she raised her hands to her wrinkled cheek. "So polite! Are you a hero by any chance? Or maybe work in an agency?"

Before Optimus could respond, a sudden boom came from outside and the whole building shook which made the old women scream out in fright.

Optimus was quick to act as he protectively covered the old lady with his body.

The moment it stopped, he released the old women and looked out the window.

"Ooh dear, what was that?!" She asked in worry.

Optimus simply narrowed his eyes as he kept his gaze locked on the crowed that has started to quickly form outside- looking up in worry or fear.

"Stay in here and do not come any where near the door unless it is safe enough to leave. Please go to the back of the shop until then," Optimus instructed the women.

The old women simply nodded in fear and quickly went to the back of the store.

Optimus quickly stood up and exited the store- looking to where the source of the boom came from. And once out, he looked up to see some sort of, shark creature, standing in a pathway suspended in the air by two buildings as smoke arrive from his peds. Underneath, there were some people too afraid to move away from the apparent threat.

Optimus knew, then and there, that he was not on the same Earth he once knew.
